I can't figure out if it's something I have control over, or I just don't like it. I had a blown out M59 missing half the side lugs on before it and it tracked better when leaned over than a brand new tire...
It just feels so.... nervous? It's almost as if the wider tire and/or maybe stiffer sidewall grabs things near-by and tries to bumpsteer.
For what it's worth, the 90/90 has sidewall lug reinforcement bridges that the 80/100 and I believe 100/90 don't have. I've wondered if that was an after-thought to cure chunking that had a negative impact? Or maybe it's a stiffer sidewall and requires lower pressure than I typically run? Regardless, this all has me questioning why I even bothered deviating from the tried and true.
